Speaking after his side's victory, De Jong said he's better suited to the national team than at his club. 

"I play very differently here than at Barcelona. I think this suits me much better," he told NOS.​

"I like to be the first player to receive the ball from the defenders and connect with the attack."

De Jong continues to be linked with a move to Man United.

The Barcelona star wants to stay at the Camp Nou, but the club's dire financial situation could see him leave this summer.

Erik ten Hag is hellbent on snapping up his former player ahead of the new season.
